LGBTQ+ Smoking Research Study
Researchers at the University of Oklahoma are partnering with young adults who identify as a sexual minority to learn about your experiences with stress and tobacco use. Join our compensated study today!
Fast Facts
regular tobacco user
non-heterosexual identity
18-34 years old

Conducted in OK, NM, AR, TX, CO, KS, MO
Study Background
Young adults who identify as LGBTQ+ are more likely to use tobacco and less likely to successfully quit. Current theory suggests that this may be due to more frequent stress from family, peers, and experiences of discrimination, compared to heterosexual young adults. In this research study, we want to learn more about the day-to-day experiences of LGBTQ+ young adults with discrimination and tobacco use.
Participation is 100% online, so no in-person visits are required. If you are a non-heterosexual young adult who uses tobacco (including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah, nicotine pouches, or SLT) and you live in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, or Missouri, you may qualify.
Your participation in this study may help researchers improve treatment approaches for smoking cessation among LGBTQ+ young adults. Further research today and join our compensated study!
